When I ran away to join the Crimespree Family last summer, I had no idea what I was getting into, but I knew it would be exciting. Since then I’ve gone to St. Louis for Bouchercon and Chicago for C2E2. I’ve had bizarre conversations with wonderful people and have had the opportunity to read some amazing books.
What I didn’t expect when I joined The Family was the immediate acceptance, and overwhelming generosity. I was overwhelmed by your support and encouragement as I raised money for the Minnesota Multiple Sclerosis Society in May. Your donations helped me raise $4828.00, making me the number 2 overall fundraiser for the Twin Cities Bike MS Ride. My team, Saint Kate’s Cycling Saints, raised over $6500.00 as the number 3 fundraising team.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank those in my Crimespree Family who supported my fight against MS:
- Crimespree Magazine
- Down and Out Books
- Judy Bobalik
- Dana Cameron
- Sean Chercover
- Victor Gischler
- Jeremy and Jill Lynch
- Sharon Lynch
- Tom Schreck
- Bryan VanMeter
- Judy VanMeter
Thank you all for your support and generosity. There is family you are born into, and then there is family you get to choose. I chose wisely.
